Description:
In automation, there is a marked trend to open PC based systems. SoftPLCs, i.e. PLC logic which is processed
directly on the PC and fieldbus systems for exchanging the process data are the central products of this
technology.
We have recognised this trend early and are today in the position of being able to offer the Communication
Interface between PC and fieldbus system for all relevant fieldbus systems. These can be provided as PC,
PC/104 or PCMCIA card with ISA and PCI bus connections, which has the decisive advantage of unified
application interfaces for all interfaces and fieldbus systems.
The process data are fed directly into a 2 KByte sized data image within the dual-port memory of the
Communication Interface. From this image, the Communication Interface sends the output data cyclic as
scheduled data packets to the other nodes on the ControlNet network, respectively stores the received
scheduled data in it. Additional non-cyclic data could be transmitted as unscheduled messages via mailboxes
to other ControlNet Nodes.The firmware is based on the ControlNet Adapter Class software of Allen-Bradley.
On the part of the application it is possible to access the Communication Interface directly or by means of
our driver. For this purpose, 32-Bit driver are available for Windows 9x, Windows NT and Windows CE operationg systems.
The configuration is transfered via the dual-port memory or the serial diagnostic interface port to the
Communication Interface and stored into a FLASH-EPROM non-volatile.
